Never had a problem of any sort with this flashlight. I love it. That's why I purchased a second one.

What is the problem with switch on the first flashlight.? I bought two more of these of these flashlights the first one worked fine for a week so I ordered two more by the time I got the second order the first flashlight would go on sometimes by pushing the button and other times it wouldn't. And then about a week later I received he other two flashlights. They are very well made machine but I think the switch on the bottom is no problem. I noticed a few other feedbacks that I wasn't the only one that had a problem with the on-off button please answer thank you.

I have the flicker with mine with YouTube and other video sources as well. Not sure what the problem is yet but I'm looking into it.

Do agree .. The lights are very sensitive also come undone or lose ..... Light comes apart very easy .. Check the lights connection 1st.. Then replace if needed..if that fails then you other electrical issues.. Good luck!

Yes, that's normal, and no, I don't like that about the flashlight, either. I am considering going to a site, like dx extreme, or ebay, and getting an on-off switch to replace the 5-way switch. They are ridiculously cheap, and would prevent a lot of aggravation.

Jared, I use the 3-Volt 18650 batteries in just about every flashlight and Laser I own. Never had a problem with them. Just make sure you use the right charger designed for them, to re-charge!

There must be a loose connection somewhere or either the batteries are not making a good connection. We installed ours about 2 1/2 years ago, still have the same rechargeable batteries, and our lamp comes on without fail every night. I would check both the wiring connections and insure that the batteries have a tight connection too.

I get the same thing. Basically I just think that this isnt a very good flashlight. I would certainly not rely on it. I would never recommend that anyone buy this flashlight. Also really surprised that so many of the reviews are positive for this flashlights. There are so many issues with it. What an awful flashlight.

I have two of these two-cell Maglites that are about 2-3 years old. One of them has started dimming just as you describe, but the other works perfectly. If I turn the dimming one off for a few hours, it works fine when I turn it back on, but only for maybe 30 seconds or so. Then it dims way, way down again.Frustrating. Maybe it is a bad switch or a short-circuit somewhere.

I have not experienced a problem with the light flickering. The only suggestion I could offer is to check the wiring at the plug and wall outlet as well as the connection to the base of the light. If all else fails, I would suggest returning the light.Hope this helps

A couple of the flashlights didn't work in my package too. I shook them up a bit and wiggled the battery and some responded to this. I didn't have the issue of any hot lights though.

My light did the same thing. I unscrewed the head with the LEDs from the body where the batteries are. I was checking for lose or burnt pieces. After I put it back together it started working and has worked fine ever since. I believe the lights worst problem is little to no quality control at the manufacturer.

Well, you are lucky. Mine flicker on and off, or alternate on and off. I haven't found a solution on Google. Since the lights are fed through the same line yet behave independently, I assume it's not a line or power source issue. I'm guessing the LED light modules are simply defective. I'm going to disconnect them. Coming on and off is simply annoying! I didn't buy it for the lights, but it's annoying that they haven't addressed the problem or recalled it.

Mine flickers a bit no matter which bulb I have in. Don't know why or if it has happened to anyone else but overall it works

This is not normal. LED's will blink if you're trying to dim ones that are notdimmable but should not blink after they are turned off.

In my original review I pointed out that these flicker when dimmed, could also be associated with buzzing since the load is on and off. Mine are still going strong after considerable use, however, I rarely dim since the flickering is irritating.

There is a key you need to use to turn the light on which is odd in that you need to remember to activate them before dark. By the same token, it preserves the solar. We've not had issues with flickering or other motions turning them on. I hope that helps. Write us at long_mike@live.com if you have further questions.
